Porcelain Veneer

A porcelain veneer is a thin, durable shell of ceramic made to fit over the front surface of a tooth to enhance its appearance. The veneer is custom-crafted in a dental laboratory to match the colour, shape and translucency of surrounding teeth and is bonded to the enamel after a small amount of tooth surface has been prepared.

Porcelain veneers are commonly used to treat discolouration, small chips, minor misalignment and gaps, offering a long-lasting aesthetic improvement that resists staining better than many other materials; with proper care they often last 10-15 years. They are not suitable for every situation—teeth with extensive decay, large restorations or heavy grinding may need alternative treatments such as crowns or orthodontics—so a clinical assessment is needed to decide the best option.
